Her voice cracked.
“I understand,” she whispered.
But when the call ended, she stood frozen, the phone in her hand. How could she explain something she couldn't

As he passed the nurse's station, the head nurse stopped him with a nervous smile.
“Mr. Scott, I'm terribly sorry. It was poor oversight on my part...” She quickly explained the incident before

baffled. How was she supposed to know?
